JAZZ ON WHEELS

2019 was a STELLAR year for Jazz on Wheels. We performed a record 27 shows as we memorialized our beloved Marcia Allen who was with JOW from day one. As a tribute to Marcia we produced a recording, "Flint's Young Jazz Voices" which features 5 Flint vocalists interpreting timeless jazz standards. This recording sparked the interest of several more young singers which left us with no choice but to continue the effort in 2020. Each year gets bigger and better for JOW thanks to the support of believers such as;

The Landaal Family Foundation, The Greater Flint Arts Council, The Community Foundation of Greater Flint, The Mary Elizabeth Adams Manley Beautification Fund, The Allan and Barbara Walters Educational Fund, The Ruth Mott Foundation, The Genesee Intermediate School District and ELGA Credit Union.

2020 will also kickoff an aggressive campaign to find a replacement for our stage truck. The 1973 Dodge has served us well since 2003 but is becoming more of a burden than a blessing. Repairs and maintenance are not cost effective at this point. The move is long overdue but as with everything, finances are an issue. Nonetheless we are convinced that the acquisition of a new vehicle is the best way to ensure the continuity of service to our community.

Jazz on Wheels is moving FLINT FORWARD !
